As expected really. Shame about no graphics card update, but it's better than no upgrade at all.

Now next year, we want HD screens Apple ;)

as expected? 2GB RAM as standard configuration for the upper two is a little more than I expected.

Good little speed upgrade, though many will complain about no Mag latch or easy access HD bay. Hopefully I should be getting one soon. :)
